just beneath the fan was the stage,
with passage way, booths and so on
all around it. 1t was six feet from the
floor and is as large as Il hail. Three
tableaux were given, music furnished
| by the seventh infantry band of eighty
/ five pieces. After the tableaux the
participants marched around the
hail. Father Time in Il decorated wag-
on, surrounded by the Goddess of Day
ana Angel OF Night, boy witch and AN
hour glass and four ladIes.represenilhg

gulsh here) drawn by cavaliers,
dudes, Spaniards ETC., came at the end
OF the procession. 1t was led by the
band III uniform, three hundred young
people took part, among them line OF
babies dressed in white with blue sash
es led by boy of three years carrying
a banner. He was too cute for any
use, and brought rounds of applause.
The belle of Los Angeles was also in
the procession, dressed in a cloud OF
gauzy stnff representing MOSQUITO bar.
After it disbanded they all pitcbed into
helping at the booths or went prom
